[mikethelegacy]

YES. Semi-bad term but $2mil AAV is right.

 

[CrosbytoKessel]

What is happening!!?

 

[SUBdrewgANS]

Everything is happening!

 

[Kristopher Letang]

2M per is good! Not sure about the 3rd year

 

[Jacob]

Hooo boy. Someone's leaving/retiring/dying.

 

[CrosbytoKessel]

What are our lines looking like?

 

[WVP]

Monster day for GMJR.

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

Hope he stays healthy. A tad risky, but nothing crippling if it doesn't work out.

 

[TNT87]

Welcome to the Pens Fehr!

 

[Winger for Hire]

$2mil over 3 years isn't terrible. I like the deal (and the other quiet deal over in the other thread)

 

[Jacob]

Hope he stays healthy. A tad risky, but nothing crippling if it doesn't work out.

I'd say at worst he can't cut it as a center in our system and moves back to wing, where he's still a solid player.

 

[CrosbytoKessel]

Center depth=Crosby,Geno, Boninon,fehr?

 

[Waffle Fries]

What a day for JR. Incredible stuff.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Fehr is turning 30 in September, 3 years isn't bad.

 

[hockeykicker]

in case you all wondering why washington didnt resign him. hope he does well with you guys, great guy

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Ouch, if Fehr is indeed out until December, it is a very bad signing.

 

[Deutschland Dangler]

Ouch, if Fehr is indeed out until December, it is a very bad signing.

Why? Because he might miss the first 2-3 months of his 3 year contract?

 

[Kristopher Letang]

Ahhhh **** he's already injured. I guess he's a real Penguin.

 

[Jacob]

If he wasn't injured he'd have commanded more and been signed already. Guys in the bargain bin will have warts.

 

[cheesedanish87]

I like the signing.

But i just think its funny that we already have our first injured player in July.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Why? Because he might miss the first 2-3 months of his 3 year contract?

Because the guy becomes a huge risk.

But very bad might be pushing it.

I am happy with signing Fehr, I just don't like signing a guy that is out long term.

Hopefully he can come back strong and be peaking for the playoffs.

 

[Zirakzigil]

I like it. Also him being out until December doesnt bother me. Opposite of what usually happens with the Pens with players starting the season and then done for the playoffs.

 

[kk87]

Unbelievable deal. I thought Fehr could fetch around 3.5 on the market. He's a great third line centre with size and skill, HUGE addition. He's also my uncle's cousin's husband. I am SO psyched right now.
